I still use my copy of AoE. My 3 most fingered books are AoE, Kernigan
and Ritchie, and Bjarne Stroustrup. Mind you, K'n'R is not well used
these days, AoE still is.

Hey, that's pretty cool!

But I'm too sure what the advantage is of doing it that way vs using a
bunch of SATA adapters. Maybe it's just easier to remotely locate the
disks.

Microsoft and HP take care of all that for me. I just see a disk
drive, so does my databas server. Mind you, the terrabye SAN does look
impressive (and sounds it too).

I found an old nec server the other, with 8 pentium 100's. It stood
about 4-5foot high. Now our quad 3.4ghz servers are 1RU high, but they
sound like jet engines if the temp climbs a few degrees. Who says
technology is not moving foward.

What brand are they? My home-made tower with its six fans
whines like a banshee, but I'd expect the commercial stuff
would have better fans, ducting, etc., and be more quiet.

Commercial stuff isn't always quieter. Some of the HP gear puts out
quite a storm, to the point where some people get the sniffles when
sitting in front of them for too long.

Ever made a Hovercraft out of fans? That would be a nice project for
your students. With DSP control, of course, and it has to be perfectly
stable (ours wasn't).

Regards, Joerg

ISTR Papst did a competition for kids to make hovercraft with their fans.

I do hate fan noise though, even my laptop that runs twice as fast as my old
desktop with a fraction for the noise.

I do wish the industry would move to a case where one wall was a big
heatsink and anything that needed cooling attached to it.

The 1U units are always noisy, because the fan aperture is only 1U.
Consequently, the fan(s) has(have) to rotate very fast. It doesn't help
that the CPU dissipates 50-100 Watts (or maybe even more, nowadays?).

I guess the idea is that you lock all your 1U stuff up in an
air-conditioned closet somewhere and only go in there with earplugs. Or
maybe you just send your geek in there and let him/her go deaf.

In my experience, only "desktop" type PC's are quiet, and only when you
buy them from Dell or similar.

Every homemade PC I have done was pretty noisy. Likewise, "server" PC's I
have bought from Dell are pretty noisy, even the tower-style ones.

Heh. We have computers at work which are used in the field sometimes, and
I guess the fan filters pick up all kinds of pollen. One of the guys at
work gets hay-fever every time he works with one of our computers. It is
also very noisy.

I'm reminded of about 1980 when I was out of college, and having
had AC circuits analysis only about three years before, when I read of
"VAR" meaning "Value Added Retailer."

It was ca. 1998 when some famous nerd responded to the question
"What's the biggest problem of the next century as y2k approaches?"
with the serious answer "Running out of TLA's." But it was already
happening decades earlier. And it was the marketing people glibly
abusing perfectly good, already-claimed TLA's.

Hello Jasen,
Not here it doesn't, it doesn't say much at all.
and I don't intend to execute that DLL.

Maybe your browser blocks it. I wouldn't execute anything from the web
unless I know the source. Not these days.

Regards, Joerg
